[QUOTE="Apex Predator, post: 262116, member: 8691"] This is my first post. I wanted to thank all on this forum, because I've learned a lot already. I've been an avid boater since I was twelve, and my dad let me take his 14' skiff by myself around the salt creeks of Ga. That was over thirty years ago! I've owned boats ranging in size from 12' to 23', but this is my first tin boat! I picked up a 1997 MonArk 1644, which I plan to modify to suit my needs. First order of business is a removable plywood floor and a permanent plywood casting deck on the bow. The small original bow deck is too small and actually angled forward. My new deck would be too high if building over it. I want 3-4" of gunnels around the new deck. I have ordered some 1 1/2" angle aluminum to build my deck frame, which will attach to the hull gunnels and bow. The angle will need to be reduced on all pieces so that the plywood will lay flat on the mounting surface. How do I go about bending this stuff to the proper angle? It is 1/8" stock. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
